About This Series

Zaber's X-LHM-E Series devices are computer-controlled, motorized linear stages with a compact size and affordable price tag. They are stand-alone units requiring only a standard 24 or 48 V power supply. The built-in motor encoder allows closed-loop operation and slip/stall recovery features. An optional indexed knob provides convenient manual control for versatile operation even without a computer.

These stages connect to the RS-232 port or USB port of any computer, and they can be daisy-chained with any other Zaber products. The daisy-chain also shares power, making it possible for multiple X-Series products to share a single power supply. Convenient locking 4-pin M8 connectors on the unit allow for secure connection between units.

At only 23 mm high, these miniature plain bearing stages are excellent for applications where a small profile is required. Carriage pre-load can be easily adjusted to compensate for wear over the lifetime of the stage. Like all of Zaber's products, the X-LHM-E Series is designed to be 'plug and play' and very easy to set up and operate.

For applications requiring more precise motion or high stiffness in multi-axis assemblies, please contact us or see our Product Overview page for the variety of stages we offer.

Easy Set-Up

Zaber's devices can share both data and power through a daisy-chain, which reduces cabling and makes set-up as easy as 1, 2, 3:

  1. Connect the Zaber device to your computer via USB or RS-232 port.
  2. Connect the power supply to your Zaber device.
  3. Send instructions or automate your set-up using the Zaber Launcher.
